I was scared to lose the weight the MCS packed on me in defense of the toxic chemicals.The fat encased as many toxins as possible to protect life. But then I got scared the fatwas a new danger and setting me up for risk of heart attack or stroke.

I lost weight slowly to deal with the toxins being released when the fat melted off, and Ihave to say I'm really jazzed, like you.

Sparkpeople is really a great place with tons of info and resources to help reach your goal.....no matter what your health goal is.I have discovered some good bads and uglies just by tracking my food and fitness.

I forgot to mention that if you have an iphone or touch ipod you can track your stuff on there. Also you can get to sparkpeople easy enough if you have a phone that has a web browser on it.Track your water, food and fitness for a month then decide.

I hear ya on the the “lose and find” weight. My sister had been running on thatwheel just about forever. She still uses the “diet” word. I am a literal type and Iknow it means what we eat, not a weight loss method. ;o)
